The Tauranga Wedding Show is returning bigger than ever this weekend with more than 90 wedding specialists in one place.

On Sunday, May 25, organiser Rochelle Free says professional advice and guidance will be offered on everything from dresses to cakes at ASB Arena, Baypark.

Rochelle says her goal this year was to make it a reality for couples to plan their entire wedding in one day.

'They could this year because we will have everything there.”

She says putting together this year's show has been a pleasure, with so many exhibitors keen to join or return.

'Tauranga is becoming the perfect wedding destination. There is so much to offer, with great venues and fantastic suppliers through the whole spectrum.”

Featured will be everything wedding-related, from dresses, venues and flowers, to jewellery, photography and invitations.

There are a lot of prizes up for grabs too – including the chance to win a $2000 wedding dress from Jonovia Bride and Design.

Rochelle also hopes that in holding this event it will encourage bride and grooms-to-be to utilise the local businesses the Bay of Plenty offers.

'Because we have such great suppliers here in the Bay, people don't need to go outside the region. Everything is here that they need and an amazing variety of it. There's a wealth of knowledge.”

Free engagement photos will be offered on the day, so brides: don't leave your grooms at home.

The Tauranga Wedding Show, sponsored by Harvey World Travel Bayfair, is on May 25 at ASB Arena, Baypark from 10am-4pm.
